I always wonder how people seem to be on so many platforms everyday and manage to sound coherent when they post or share something.

Even writing this took me some time 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm not even on XHS 🍠 yet, which sounds fun.

As @yatil.yatil.social.ap.brid.gy writes in the post, "… alternative text is an art more than a science, and sometimes you’ll leave out essential information. My litmus test is 'would I picture an approximation of the image when it was described to me over the phone using the alternative text.'"

For beginners, it can be difficult to know what to put in alt text, as well as when alt text is needed and when it isn't. This decision tree helps you determine what to do, based on specific situations.

Questions for an Industry: Are You Disregarding Harm and Profiting From Our Misery?
What on earth has been going on, in experimentation on our autistic loved ones? Who on earth thought we were no more human than a lump of clay?

Really don't know how to balance helping people shift their practice without correcting their language.

Those who want to work but unable to because of:
- care responsibilities?
- limited spoons?
- inaccessible housing and transport?
- ableist assumptions?
- discriminatory hiring practices?

Really, think before proposing or using any labels on people.
